Ok. I was told today (Friday) that I had until Saturday at 1300 (1PM EST) to decide whether or not I want to volunteer for a deployment to, Afghanistan.
I know as a, Marine I should WANT to...and normally I would but...with all that my fiance' and I have been through with us losing the baby....
The deployment length is unknown, I'll be shipping out on my 21st birthday, and all that we know is we'll be relieving some of our guys on their rotation and they got beat up pretty bad. We had two KIA's in December, and several of them lost limbs from that month alone. That was the only report we got from them.
I know you guys may pick on me, but I love this girl to death. She is my everything, my foundation. She's been through the thickest and thinnest with me and has ALWAYS supported my decision no matter what it was. She rubs my back, cooks me meals, helps me do anything I ask her to....She is the best thing I could ever ask for...and I don't want to leave her without a way to make it. She's a smart girl and has the potential to do anything she wants in life, but it doesn't mean I don't worry about her.
She has already said she'll support whichever decision I make, I just wish it wasn't so hard.
What would you guys do in my situation?
